They are all still there. Just go to the advanced editor, they're all on the right side as usual. The 'smiley' icon on the editor nav bar is the one that doesn't display them all. We'll fix this as soon as one is available, but until then just use the old list in the advanced editor.

I was having what looked like script issue (unable to enter text in this box for example) but a reboot seems to have fixed that.

The file thing is really annoying though...is it software related or just an annoying ad?

What ad is showing up when this happens? We can have the ad removed.

I can't see or hear any ad, maybe the abortive download is the ad trying to run? It happens on every page of the org.

Can you track the full URL it is coming from? I have disabled adblock and I'm not getting anything like that, so I can't track the problem myself.

Read some sites indicating that clearing your browser cache might help solve the problem. Give that a try.

Any idea how to do that?

I cleared my cache but it's no good.

Nevermind, I just noticed that you already said it's coming from delivery.sids-ads.com. That's probably enough to report it. I'll try and get it removed. I'm not sure why it's showing up for you and not others, but in the meantime I highly recommend Firefox + AdBlock. That should take care of the problem.

Cheers! That's what I use at home but here at work I have no control and am forced to use IE with something called McAfee...
